Abstract

In the present study we analyze the speed, acceleration, torque, boiler power during a complete phase of human walking and of the change of state: from sitting position to standing position. As a part of the experimentation methodology, we use artificial vision and with this we capture the points located in: hip, knee and ankle, these are states join by segments, to finally obtain the variation of the angle produced by each segment relative to the vertical.
